Villainess x Evil Ghost, with an entire cast of crazed characters
1.
Your childhood friend is dead.
Someone pushed him down a very tall flight of stairs, and he died.
From childhood onward, you excelled in both character and academics. In everyone's eyes, you were a sweet, well-behaved girl. But no matter how hard you tried, all your light was always overshadowed by his dazzling, sunlike brilliance.
Your parents fawned over their superior's excellent son in public, but behind closed doors, they flew into rages and beat you over the smallest things.
Can't you beat Jiang Muzhi just once?
You've made me lose face completely.
After years of being ignored and consumed by jealousy, a dark, lightless mire finally formed in the deep pool of your heart.
Every day, you vented your resentment in your diary.
Jiang Muzhi Jiang Muzhi Jiang Muzhi Jiang Muzhi
I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you
Drop dead drop dead drop dead drop dead
Then one day, at his house, you found your missing hair clip, your lost school badge, a half-used lipstick... and private items that should never have been seen.
You discovered his biggest secret, your eyes shining as you said, "Jiang Muzhi, you like me, don't you?"
Watching him blush all the way to his ears, you couldn't help getting excited. "Then why don't you die for me?"
2.
It was a long time after his head hit the sharp corner of the stairs that Jiang Muzhi finally lost all signs of life.
He watched his beloved's eyes fill with excitement and panic, and, most importantly, with the satisfied happiness of someone who had had her fill.
That's good, Qianqian.
Every day, what he wrote in his diary was overflowing love.
Jiang Qian Jiang Qian Jiang Qian Jiang Qian Jiang Qian Jiang Qian
So cute so cute so cute so cute
I love you I love you I love you I love you
Being a ghost didn't seem so bad. He could stay by Qianqian's side whenever he wanted.
It was just that he had never realized how many men were around her.
The man she kissed on the school rooftop fell from the tenth floor. Not a single part of his body was uninjured.
The man who brought her breakfast and confessed to her was scared into a mental breakdown in the restroom, then dropped out and went home to recover.
His Qianqian seemed to have finally realized something was wrong.
But why had she gone and found that irritating, damnable ghost hunter?
[Reading Guide]
1. The main story is in third person. Neither lead is a good person, but the female lead is not the one who caused the male lead's death.
2. The ghost hunter is the second male lead.
3. It's still the author's favorite formula of male rivalry and a powder-keg love triangle, except this time they're fighting to the death in a literal, physical sense.
Theme: Live in the sunlight.
